Look, if anyone loves a bit of dark humor, that's me. Not to mention how much I love horror stuff, horror is basically my favorite genre, but there are limits for me like for everyone else.
Just this day while scrolling on Google images I saw by accident a picture of that fucking pink cat girl from that one disgusting pedo ''anime'' on par with like Human Centipede and Serbian Film, I actively avoid that shit and just every now and then I am reminded of it's existence, WHY, WHY WHY does someone have to do that and post it in the first place? Reminder that I'm the type who plays Outlast, FnaF or Resident Evil casually like it's an Animal Crossing, not to mention the anime, horror movies(Saw included) and crime shows and stuff I like.
But there are still stuff I want to forget that exist, these include, that ''anime''(I hate to call that anime), Human Centipede, A Serbian Film, Coffin of incest game(forgot it's name) and stuff like Terrifier movies and whatnot, you know basically worst of the worst. I know that stuff like that exist thanks to YT and while I have nothing against mentioning it and making a video on talking about how disgusting it is, which some of my favorite YouTubers did for the 2 aforementioned movies, I do have against it actively posting it and it popping on on completely unrelated stuff and unironically liking it. Like stuff like that is for Dark Web and shouldn't be on the surface web at all.
Why does anyone feel the need to even mention shit like that, I'm pissed as fuck right now, my deranged cousin isn't enough, I also have to deal with this. I'm so happy when I forget stuff like that exist only to be reminded by pure accident.
I'm sorry, I'm not thinking straight, I'm so pissed, I just need to talk to someone, maybe I will feel better...
I have often wondered about the boundaries of horror art... or more precisely, the lack thereof.
There is "tasteless" and there is "should probably be illegal". I may be wrong and all art should be allowed and criticism should reign, I don't know. But you mentioned Terrifier, a film that was marketed as the one making people vomit and pass out in movie theaters.
I don't see the benefit here... for anyone. I see cheap exploitation and majorly creatively bankrupt gimmicks.
I, like you, am also no horror prude, and I sometimes even explicitly seek out gory films. I have a soft spot in my heart particularly for the V/H/S series, which are fictional representations of what are basically snuff films. They don't make me vomit and cry and shit my pants and dream about clowns murdering me in my sleep, though. I prefer it that way, personally.
Also fuck r@pe in horror movies. For every time it's tastefully done, it's done in the most degrading and unnecessary way possible 100 more times. Graphic depictions of sexual abuse almost always evoke in me disdain for the director or creator rather than any involved emotion regarding the film itself. I'm looking at you, "I Spit On Your Grave" and basically every other "r@pe revenge* film.
I feel you, comrade.
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about, like as someone who watches Saw, most of the James Wan movies, 1980s horror movies, Alien and plays a lot of horror games, you know you someone messed it up when I even I say that content is absolutely disgusting.
I also watch gory stuff but I'm disgusted by graphic sexual content and rape like you, not to mention stuff involving incest and shit like that. I mean Human Centipede, A Serbian Film, that stuff, It's so disgusting.
But i feel better know that there are people like me who understand me.
